Re: Accents on This Side of the Pond..

Do remember years ago was in the East End North of the river had a meeting with some locals in the morning.

In the afternoon had to get the Tube South of the river to Bermondsey with locals for a meeting.

There was a difference in the accents not much but could notice a difference.

2 miles apart but a river in the way.

Re: Accents on This Side of the Pond..

Oh yes... Short distances make a difference. In this video she talkes about the Midwestern accent being from Minnesota and Wisconsin. But come just 100 miles south to Chicago, and we speak differently. The Chicago accent is distinctive from the Upper Midwest region. So depending on where you are in the Midwest, your accent will reflect it.
